Application Designer Training Exercise: Building a Generic Chooser

The following command can be utilized to build a Generic Chooser:

1.    Set the command to open the Generic Chooser:
cmd://Form/OpenChooser?Name=GenericChooser

2.    Set the Target Collection of Personify Data to Application Codes:
TargetCollection=ApplicationInfo.ApplicationCodes&!CodeProperty=Code

3.    Set the System Type where the values are stored:
Type=VOLUNTEER

4.    Set the fields that should populate when the value from the chooser has been selected:
Textbox1.text=^{Code}

5.    Optionally, to allow multi-select capability add this value to the command:
AllowMultiSelect=True

 

The final code would then look like this:

cmd://Form/OpenChooser?Name=GenericChooserTargeCollection=ApplicationInfo.ApplicationCodes&!CodeProperty=CodeType=VOLUNTEERTextbox1.text=^{Code}AllowMultiSelect=True

 

This code would then be put in the command builder for a LinkLabel, reachable via the Command property.
